If you grew up in the North Texas in the 90’s and 00’s and listened to the 94.5 The Edge or 97.1 The Eagle then there is no way you could miss the voice of the man that joined us this evening, the great Chris Ryan. Chris is a Modern Day Manly Man, has been one of our favorite on air talents for years. We spend the evening talking about him being discovered in Gilmer, Tx, working in Mount Pleasant (or Mount Alda?!?), life at The Edge and The Eagle, and the state of radio today. Plus what it takes to be a voice actor, the world of anime, and Matt’s PSA for Mayor of Watauga. Chris is available for any voice work you might need and can be contacted here.

Also Fergie sang a crappy version of the National Anthem and Gibson is facing bankruptcy. Yea!

It’s a Fat Tuesday Valentine’s Eve night this week and the boys spend it on the south side of Fort Worth at Sovereign Jewelry Company owned and operated by Branden Smith. Not only is Branden a Master Jeweler, but he also happens the be the guitarist for The Dangits and The Sun Kings. The boys explore the life of a Master Jeweler, talk the holiday that is Valentine’s Day, hit on the Winter Olympics and Kim Jong-Un, and take a look inside Matt’s sack. Seriously if you want any custom jewelry made, make a trip to see Branden at the Sovereign Jewelry Company at 207 S Jennings Ave, right across from the Justin Boots building. Check out more of his work at http://Sovereignjewelryco.com or at https://www.facebook.com/sovereignjewelry/

The flu season has been a bitch this year, and it has taken it toll on our would be guests, Henry the Archer. So instead the boys shoot the s for a bit before debuting a new what they hope will be a new running segment breaking down the genre of Heavy Metal. Since this will hopefully be a running segment, the boys are looking for a theme song or jingle from you guys out there. So send us your bits!

It’s always awesome when a guest comes to the Temple and immediately feels like the fit right in. And that’s exactly how it felt with our guest this week, the great Jake Kemp. Jake is the cohost of his podcast It’s Just Banter and can be heard weekdays from noon to three as the producer of BaD Radio on Sports Radio 1310 The Ticket. Of course we talk about his role up at the little Ticket, and we talk about It’s Just Banter, but we also get into growing up in the Mid Cities, more on the Fort Worth vs Dallas debate, the Hawaii missile crisis, the Super Bowl, Dustin’s trip to Anaheim, and the meme floating around that is destroying friendships.

This episode is the contractually obligated Matt and Dustin show, but they are joined by their longtime friend Jason Cantrell. Dustin has an interesting way of picking the Super Bowl winner, or really any team to win in a contest you don’t care about. Matt exposes Mattress Firm for bing a money laundering front. Not one, but TWO exposés are brought to you this week, one about the potential uprise of Fort Worth and the other about sourced Whiskey.

Cody Cannefax, the main man behind iNcelta, made his first pilgrimage to the Temple of Eye. In a hard hitting interview full of various forms of the term “sh**hole” and equipped with his manifesto, Cody led the boys through the world he created for the track Lasserie and might have tried to convert them to his cult. Or at least a cult might have been seeded. Things got a little odd and tingly as the evening went on, even Ulrich shows up in a Metallica hoodie. Of course the boys take full advantage of “shithole gate” and abuse all the new found power that CNN and MSNBC have given to them. Theres also talk of Aziz Ansari, the Hawaii false warning, Dustin is pissed, MLK day gets the shaft, and the there is a new bit called What’s in Matt’s Case Logic Case.

This Thursday night NR/CD, The Real Tenacious D Tribute, is doing a show at Texas Billiards in Watauga so they came by the Temple to get warmed up. It’s a JJTM first that a band has played the intro, middle, and outro songs LIVE in studio. It was pretty magical. The boys also get into a little bit of silliness with Nick and Casey as they discuss the hate for the Fort Worth metal scene, apocalyptic bikes, the Sunshine Bar, Duell, emails, eatables and a whole other bunch of nonsensical crap. It’s a wang pang pu-tang of a time in the Temple tonight!
